Who gets to define what is beautiful?

For generations, Black women and girls have been measured against standards of beauty that did not reflect our skin, our hair, our features, or our culture.

I created “The Right Choice” as a reminder that we do not have to use someone else's measuring stick to determine our beauty or our value.

The little girl in this drawing is holding a doll that reflects her. Not because that doll is the right choice for everyone—but because she is the right choice for her.

Every child deserves to see positive images that reflect who she is. And every grown woman deserves to know that her beauty does not require someone else's approval.

Define yourself.
Control your own narrative.
Know your value.

“The Right Choice” is available as a fine-art reproduction for $50 at Sonya Walker Creations.

Your beauty does not require somebody else's approval.
